ABOUT this Concert:
Divas Are Forever, starring Shirley Bassey live in concert is from Antwerp, Belgium during her 1997 tour. This concert made for television is packed with 15 great Bassey standards. She shows her diva status stunningly with a great dramatic entrance to the strains of "GOLDFINGER," the theme to the James Bond film, which along with "Diamonds Are Forever" pays tribute to her Bond girl days. From old favorite "'S Wonderful" to "Kiss Me Honey, Honey" (in which she cha-chas with her mic) to a bawdy, and just a bit naughty, "Big Spender" from Sweet Charity, Bassey clearly delights her audience. Shirley's recording of the beautiful song, 'As Long as He Needs Me' that was written by Lionel Bart for the musical, Oliver remained on the charts for over 30 weeks. Shirley's high fidelity version of the George Harrison's song, 'SOMETHING' was her come-back hit after a dry spell in the late 1960s. Shirley performs the heartfelt and very dramatic "I Who Have Nothing" and a surprising cover of the Foreigner hit "I Want to Know What Love Is." She exits the stage and returns to a standing ovation having donned a feathered and glittered duster over her beautiful evening gown, thrilling her audience with three encore numbers, "This Is My Life," "I Wish You Love," and "I Am What I Am.
